After the figure outside the door was hidden, she said to Ruliu, who was still squatting on the ground: "Get up and freshen up for me, don't make Yingchun wait for a long time." ”

Ruliu responded sullenly, plucked the hairpin on her head and put it away for Shu Mulu's hair, felt the dense tooth comb across the scalp, Shu Mulu silently closed her eyes, she knew very well that she was a chess piece in the queen's hand, without the queen's permission, she would never want to have her own children in her life.

However, if she has no children, her status in the palace will be in turmoil. Today, Yin Chen pampered her because of her dance on Chinese New Year's Eve; Ming dynasty; Yinzhen can also pamper others because of a dance and a song. In this deep palace, only children are the reliance and protection for the rest of their lives.

I don't know how long it took, Ruliu said in a low voice, "Master, it's okay." ”

Shu Mulu opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw himself in the bronze mirror with exquisite makeup, his hair in a neat bun, and dark green tassels hanging down on his sideburns.

There is a queen's reward in her makeup box, which is precious and dazzling, but only the main lady can wear it, and if she dares to wear it, she is guilty of a big disrespectful crime.

She never understood why the queen gave her a step shake that she couldn't wear at all, whether it was a warning or a promise, and she didn't dare to ask, so she could only ponder it in her heart.

When Ruliu changed into a green and bright dress like willow leaves, he went out, and when he arrived at the outhouse, he saw that Yingchun was sitting there drinking tea, and on the small table, in addition to the tea cup, there was also a bowl of brown things, exuding a faint smell of medicine.

Seeing her come out, Yingchun got up with a smile, "The slave and maid greet the Hui nobles, congratulations to the Hui nobles for being summoned by the emperor again, and the holy family is long." ”

"Auntie misunderstood, I didn't sleep with the emperor yesterday." Shu Mulu plucked up the courage and said: "After the emperor summoned him yesterday, it was the time when the concubine asked to see her, so the concubine came back first. ”

Yingchun had already learned about this matter from Yushan's mouth, and understood that the reason why Shu Mulu said this was because he wanted not to drink the medicine on the small table, but whether he drank the medicine or not, how could she have the final say.

"The matter between the Hui nobles and the emperor, the slaves and maids don't know, and they don't dare to inquire, the slaves and maids only know that the name of the Hui nobles is recorded in the respectful room, and the queen mother ordered the slaves and maids to send medicine to replenish the blood of the Hui nobles, and the rest is not known." The implication is very clear, that is, no matter what happened last night, since the name of the worship room was recorded, the medicine must be drunk.

In Shu Mulu's pale face, Ruliu picked up the medicine bowl, stared at Shu Mulu's eyes, and said respectfully but coldly: "The medicine has been a little cold for a long time, and I ask the Hui nobles to drink it quickly, so as not to disappoint the queen." ”

"Yes." Shu Mulu reluctantly smiled at her, took the bowl of medicine that weighed thousands of pounds, drank the whole bowl of medicine in front of Yingchun, and then had to endure the nausea surging in his chest and said: "Please Aunt Yingchun thank the queen for her compassion and concern for me." ”

"The slave will definitely convey it." Yingchun put the medicine bowl in the small basket she carried, she knew that Shu Mulu was unwilling, but what if she was unwilling, these three words never worked in the palace. Since she has obtained everything now by attaching herself to her master, she must pay the corresponding price, and there has never been such a thing as eating white food in the world.

After Yingchun left, a tear fell from Shu Mulu's cheeks and fell on the smooth gold bricks, broken and invisible, Ruliu stepped forward to wipe her tears in distress and said, "Master, don't be sad." ”

Yushan also knew that the bowl of medicine was not a good thing, and said hatefully at the moment: "The queen is so ruthless, she doesn't let her master get pregnant, and she lets the emperor see it, see how the queen explains." ”

"The queen will never let the emperor know." Shu Mulu looked at the puzzled Yushan faintly, "Do you know why Lu Dao chooses this hour to deliver medicine every time he welcomes spring, neither early nor late." Because this hour is when the emperor goes to court, the emperor can only be in the palace of nourishing hearts. ”

"Master......" Yu Shan wanted to comfort, but found that she didn't know what to say, Ruliu was also in general appearance, and in the end, Shu Mulu comforted them in turn, "Okay, I don't have anything to do, what are you doing with this appearance one by one." While it's still early, like a willow, you accompany me to go outside for a walk. ”

"Yes." Ruliu didn't say anything more, holding Shu Mulu, whose hands were still trembling slightly, walked out, no matter how sunny the sun was, the hands on his arms were as cold as the first snow.

After walking for a while, Ruliu suddenly said: "Master, why don't you accompany the slave to see the lotus?" ”

Shu Mulu shook his head and said, "Silly girl, even if there are lotus flowers in the sky in July, they are already ruined, and there is nothing to look at." ”

"Then why don't you feed the fish, I heard that there are a lot of new koi in the Linyuan Pond." Ruliu changed his method to please Shu Mulu's family,

Shu Mulu understood her intentions, although he was not in the mood, but in order not to worry too much about Ruliu, he agreed to her words, and went all the way to the direction of Chonghua Palace.

"Hey, there's already someone there? It's so early! After passing through the net forest, Ruliu appeared a little unexpectedly at the figure by the pool, and after carefully identifying one of the palace people with a sideways face, he said: "It seems to be Aunt Shuixiu next to Concubine Xi." ”

At this time, the palace people who looked like a water show also saw them, and said something to the woman in the costume next to her, and the woman suddenly turned around, it was really Ling Ruo, and she only heard her smile and said: "Hey, is the Hui Guiren also here to feed the fish?" ”

Shu Mulu hurriedly stepped forward, Ying Ying bowed down, "The concubine sees Concubine Xi, Niangniang is auspicious." ”

"Hurry up, please." Ling Ruo said politely, and when she saw those eyes similar to Nalan Mei'er, a trace of gloom came to her heart, making the smile on her face fade a little.

Shu Mulu didn't know this, but said respectfully: "The concubine's maid said that there were many new koi fish in the Linyuan Pond, and the concubine wanted to come and see, but I didn't expect to meet Niangniang by such a coincidence." ”

Ling Ruo glanced at her meaningfully, "Yes, it's really a coincidence, this palace has just arrived, why don't you feed the fish with this palace." ”

"The concubine obeys." With Shu Mulu's agreement, Shui Xiu handed a small bag of fish food to Ruliu, when the fish food spilled to the surface of the water, countless red or gold or colorful koi fish swam from all directions, gathered at the bottom to grab food, so it was very good-looking, Shu Mulu looked at it intently, until a small bag of fish food was fed, the koi fish dispersed, dragging the tail like a fan in the pond water.

"Does the lady come here often?" Shu Mulu asked curiously.

"I don't often do it, but I think of coming and walking around once in a while." Ling Ruo smiled slightly, took the remaining fish food from Shui Xiu's hand, and threw it all into the pool, and suddenly, the fish that had just dispersed swam over again, competing for the food, "It is said that carp will never be full. ”
